See how Kerry and his hench-girlymen forged the CBS documents - right here

Unconvincing, to say the least. A comparison, to be valid, should use a fixed width font in Word. It's called Courier, and it's a standard font. Comparing the Selectric to Times New Roman is completely bogus.


<sigh> Not that I believe the memo is real, but somebody is going to have to do better than that to prove it.
 
I can prove right this second at least one of the documents is forged. Look at this document....

aug-18-1973-memo.gif


Notice the "th" in "187th" is small type, raised & underlined. There is no "small th" key on any standard typewriter I have ever seen. That is pure Microsoft Times Roman font. The document, if authentic, would have been typed by a clerk at a Texas ANG base. As anyone connected with the Guard will tell you, they always get leftover junk for equipment. Thier typewriters would have been WWII surplus beaters at best, not brand-spankin'-new IBM Selectrics. There is no way this document is authentic.

Since at least some of the documents are undeniably forgeries and they originated (as sassy pointed out above) in the Kerry campaign, Kerry is going to take a big hit on this one. It will be quite comical to watch Dan Blather try and cover his azz while the rest of the liberal media tries to cover Kerry's azz and downplays this story. Meanwhile, Fox News will be blasting Kerry, CBS News, The New York Times, and all the other professional liars involved. This whole thing is already in the process of blowing up in the faces of the liberals. Along with Kerry, who has been whining constantly about 'sleazy Repub campaign tactics', looking like the hypocritical moron he really is, the mainstream media's credibility will be further shredded in the eyes of the sheeple.

The 'mainstream media' has been losing ground to the internet and cable upstarts like Fox News for quite a while now. This is only going to speed up thier downhill slide. As they lose viewers and the overall trust of the public, they will lose ratings and funding. The quality of production and thier ability to field huge staffs of reporters will suffer, furthering thier deterioration. Net & cable outlets will begin regularly scooping them on big stories, making the network news even more irrelevant and 'old school' in the eyes of viewers. The power of the big network news programs is waning fast and the liberal deathgrip on the news industry will soon be broken forever. It is about time.
 
Now THAT'S convincing!

Why didn't the owner of that website post a pic of the document? :confused:


Oh, but this is GOOOOOD! Not only will this slam Kerry, it will damage Blather and CBS!!!!!


Oh, this is a GOOD day!

Actually Ought Six, while the small size superscript letters would not be present on most standard typewriters, they were present in 1973 as a specialty item on some models. There is little chance that Bush's superior would have had one of those typewriters or that the National Guard office would have been cutting edge with one of them.
 
You got that right. I was flying a desk in '78 at battallion (broken foot doesn't make for a good infantryman!), and we sure didn't have anything like that. We had MANUAL typewriters. And that was ACTIVE Army.
 
I've been in the office automation/document management/desktop publishing/printing bidness off and on for a while, and IIRC, there were IBM Selectic typewriters around at that time that would do a superscript (e.g. for a footnote, but it would have been in the same size font (i.e 10 or 12 pt. Courier) offset vertically 1/2 a line, not in a smaller point size underlined, as in the document in question. I'll spare you the discussion on proportional (New Times Roman, on a word processor) vs. non-proportional (Courier, on a typewriter) fonts, but it was clearly done on a modern word processor, photocopied X number of times to get 'the look' of an older document. They could also test the paper to determine its age fairly easily, If they wanted to . . .

I don't know if CBS actually got some 'document experts' to evaluate the docs and come up with said conclusion, but if they did, they ought to ask for their money back, and Mr. Blather needs to retire.

Uncle Mikee says bogus.
 
Mr. Blather needs to retire.

I just hope he stays on until after the election. I want to see him have a stroke on air when Dubya wins.

Then that rat can retire back into whatever sewer he slithered out of.
 
This may be just too obvious, but couldn't they test the paper to find a relative manufacture date? Isn't that possible, or no?

At least test the ink, to see if it is similiar to any modern laserjet toner?
 
I'm so glad that Blather and 60 Minutes are sticking to the story. If they had just said "Sorry, we were premature on this. Disregard. We're looking into it and will see if we have to retract the entire story. Stay Tuned." I would have been sorely disappointed. What's the fun in that?

Squirm you slimes. Squirm.

BTW, the only way they can properly authenticate the document is if they have the opriginal (even Blather's 'expert', who is a handwriting , not document, expert, admits this). A copy is questionable/unacceptable from the getgo unless they can prove a chain of custody (i/e/ notarized copy). It's all bogus.
 
This is such a crock!

If you go to the original docs and compare the signatures of Killian to the ones purported to be his, they are obviously different, in fact they are different from each other in the purported docs. I'm no handwriting expert, but I have tried to copy signatures in the past, and you can see the hesitation in one of the signatures, it is so far off the mark, whoever did this must have been part of Watergate.
